I took these photos of my sweet, dear friend Michelle with her two adorable dogs, Cookie and Teddy couple months ago and finally got the chance to post it up! They are Peekapoo (Pekingese+Poodles)
They are so soft with all that hair!

My friend Nhi wanted a picture with Cookie too :D
I just got a new lens!!!! It just arrived few days ago so I can not wait to play with it and do more fun photoshoot. I got the canon 50mm f1.4. The pictures above was taken with 50mm f1.8 btw.

DIY Cupcake stand: can be used for many other things like organizing jewelry. Only $2 for this project!

Super easy project to do if you have a spare plate that you are not using anymore or you can go to any dollar or Thrift store to find one. I found my pretty turquoise plate and candle holder at the Dollar Tree near our house. Using Krazy Glue, I let it dry overnight under some textbooks and it was pretty sturdy the next day! I think it would be fun to spray paint the glass candle holder to white or a fun color next time I do this project again.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! We are cleaning, organizing and more extreme cleaning this weekend! :/

I can't get enough of this beautiful weather we have going on today. 70 today, yes seventy in February! Hope it is beautiful where you are at!

Did you know that the color yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum, that's why I wanted to incorporate that color for Kaylee's first birthday party. It represents her attitude and personality in her first year. Her theme is You Are My Sunshine using Yellow and Turquoise as her main 2 colors for anyone wondering what her theme is :)

I have been a little MIA lately since it is now crunch time for Kaylee's first party! Still a lot of things to do and plan. So far (luckily) everything has been going pretty smoothly! We got less then 2 weeks left and here is what we have so far. Can you guess the theme?

So inspired by all these parties! Love looking at pinterest for birthday inspirations. source: 1, 2, 3 pinterest 4, 5, 6
I know I may be going a bit overboard with Kaylee's first party since she is not even going to remember any of it! but hey, she's turning 1 just once so might as well make it memorable :)

This girl right here always put a smile on my face each day. I seriously have the most happiest baby ever! Even when she was sick with a fever and had Roseola

How Do I look?

"I don't understand why it's so funny, do you?" Love the kindness in her soft face and eyes. Kaylee's first birthday party is about 2 weeks away and I am already feeling a bit overwhelmed! Who knew a 1 year old party can be so much work, but I am totally enjoying every moment of it! I am truly blessed to have so many people involved and wanting to help out with her party. Can not wait to share her special birthday with everyone! Follow me on Instagram (simplyvonne9) for updates! Happy Thursday!

After 2 years of growing out my hair, I finally got a haircut. A lot of layers and bangs!

I bought my first colored jeans over the weekend at HM using the 20% off any item. I ended up only paying around $16! Next color on the lis :: a mint color.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! Hubby and I don't normally do anything big for V-day. We are going to celebrate it with our baby girl tonight by showering her with lots and lots of love! In case you need some Valentine's printables, Amy sent these over to me and I am totally smitten by them! You can download them on her blog here.

The True Beauty Files:
A lookbook for the modern modeste.
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."

I love typography and I am alway searching for new fonts. These are some of my favorite free fonts to download at the moment. I am actually using Quicksand #4 for simplyvonne on my header right now. For the lace background, you can download that brush here.
These free fonts would be so perfect if you are planning on making a Valentine's day diy card! Have a good Thursday!

btw I was nominated for Circles of Mom, would love love to have your vote! I don't think you need to sign in or anything. Thank you so much!

I am so embarrassed to show the before picture of the bookcase. It was such a mess and so glad we finally got around to give it a makeover! I pretty much shoved everything in there so here's the before picture.

Husband putting it all together and he got a personal assistant to help him!

It is so refreshing to finally have a clean and organized bookcase. With just a pattern background or even fabric, you can transform something boring into something stylish and modern. The best part? Total cost: $2.50! Thanks for visiting!

Hope you had a great weekend, I think our family is probably the only one in America that didn't really watch the superbowl! Heard the game was awesome though! Happy Monday!

By definition color blocking:: wearing bright blocks of seemingly disparate colors that actually compliment each other. Color blocking is such a foreign language to me but definitely a trend of bold statement that I am slowly embracing. It's easier for me to pull off analogous color schemes in outfits since the use of colors are more pleasing to the eye and more harmonious. Maybe one day I'll be brave to work around with complementary colors and build an outfit of around it. Are you a fan of color blocking?

Your personality is starting to shine through! We notice you love to watch tv and shake shake those cute little butt at the same time. You get so excited when others tell you to clap. Mommy and daddy are planning your first birthday party (ok who are we kidding, just mommy) and it is going to be a blast! Happy 11 Months baby girl, we love you so much! Thank you for being you and brighten our day everyday!
